3-4 months does not make a trend, but maybe the start of a trend
Since Bernie's VT announcement on May 25, he's starting to show a doubling time of one month for attendance.
In June, attendance I saw ranged from 2,500-5500.
In July, 10,000.
And now in August, 20,000 and 28,000.
Of course not all venues will have these huge draws and eventually, short of getting massive open air spaces, there will be a limit to how many are physically able to fit anywhere. But it does look like the start of a trend

"resident 1%er" (posters words, not mine 
) was stalking me for a while, "mansplaining" why I was mistaken on various and sundry issues, til I put on ignore for creepiness.
Somehow various and sundry posters seem to fall off my ignore list and suddenly start turning up on my screen. I don't get it, but said poster hasn't resumed the stalking, so I'm leaving for the time being.
